Select from Many Exterior Wall Fountain Styles

The two types of fountains available to you are mounted and freestanding models. Small, self-contained mounted wall fountains can be installed on any surface.

Stand-alone fountains, often referred to as floor fountains, are sizable, have a basin located on the ground and a smooth side which leans against a wall. Normally made of cast stone, these water features have no weight constraints.

Custom-built fountains which can be incorporated into a new or existing wall are often prescribed by landscaping designers.

The wall will need to have a spout or fountain mask incorporated into it. A custom-built wall fountain blends into the landscape instead of standing out because it was a later addition, which adds to a unified look.
